After treating Oklahoma as a drive-thru state on a few roadtrips I took out west from my old Ohio residence, I decided to take a roadtrip to see more of the sights of the state itself. It was a great trip. It began and ended in Oklahoma City. These photos capture some of the city's highlights. The Photos (in order) O08A0383 - There is a working oil well on the grounds of the Oklahoma state capitol O08A0388 - Harn Homestead Park is an outdoor museum that provides insight into life when Oklahoma was a territory O08A0418 - The Oklahoma City National Memorial remembers those killed in the 1995 blast at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building O08A0452 - There are statues of a number of baseball greats, including Johnny Bench, at the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark O08A0457 - Bricktown is a former warehouse district whose historic buildings have been converted to restaurants, shops and nightlife venues O08A0460 - Bricktown's iconic Dr Pepper tower clock O08A0462 - Santa Fe Railroad/Amtrak Station is an Art Deco-style railroad depot built in 1934 O08A0474 - Stockyards City is a historic district that grew up around the Oklahoma National Stockyards, the world's largest stocker-feeder cattle market; the district is home to the oldest restaurant, library and pharmacy in the state
